DES MOINES, IOWA (AP) -- The Federal Emergency Management Agency is paring back the hours at its Disaster Recovery Centers across Iowa this week.
The centers have served some 2,125 victims of this summer's severe storms, tornadoes and flooding. Starting this coming weekend, the centers will be closed Sundays. And after Saturday evening, the centers in Colfax and Webster will close. Eight centers will remain open.
Representatives from federal and voluntary agencies, including the U.S. Small Business Administration, are available at the centers to provide recovery information.
Before visiting a center, the first step in the storm and flood recovery assistance process is to register with FEMA. The deadline to register is Oct. 13.
